Gaige’s Famous Caramel Pull-Aparts

Brittni Jordahl could smell the sweet goodness before she saw it.

“It was as soon I walked in,” she said, gesturing toward her face. “A huge whiff of delicious smells. Instantly my stomach started growling.”

What happens with these small gestures, however, is a lot bigger than just caramel pull-aparts. It brings the team together over something they all enjoy.

“It’s like a family gathering,” Brittni said. “You all get to sit there and eat and talk.”

“Everyone likes to have homemade goods,” Gaige added. “It can get so busy here. This allows us time to catch up and hear about each other’s lives. It’s a little reality break… with something sweet!”

What he didn’t mention, was that he did all this with a two-week-old daughter at home and in the middle of the busy season at work.

“I thought it was awesome that he selflessly thought of us like that,” Brittni said. “It’s acts of kindness like this that really brighten everyone’s day.”

Epilogue
During our interview for this story, we mentioned we would need pictures. Brittni took that as an opportunity to nudge Gaige: “looks like we might have to have more caramel pull-aparts…” They both laughed. And yet, sure enough, that night, Gaige sent over 19 (yes, 19!) photos of the entire process; from putting the dough together to baking them in the oven to the empty pan after his coworkers finished them off.
